How many "fair shots" does he think Flock should get? They've already blown a few.

> And what I came to realize over time was that the responsibility that bears with it is an obligation to make sure that it’s creating a society that we both, you and I, and everyone around us, want to raise their kids in.

Good luck with that. There's no way I want to live in a panopticon (and particularly not an AI-driven one), let alone subject my children to it. I prefer freedom and liberty.
